8 INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY I NTRODUCTION RATIONALE Information And Communication Technology builds on the skills developed in the mandatory module Introduction to Information and Communication Technology. It is intended to give students a more in-depth exposure to the skills and understanding necessary to use computers in their future working lives. This course, which consists of six modules of which four must be chosen offers the flexibility to the students to concentrate on the aspects of Information And Communication Technology which they feel are most appropriate to their interests, needs and ambitions. 4
9 INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY NUMBER AND SEQUENCE OF MODULES Four modules to be completed Module 1: Word Processing is a compulsory core module. Students may complete three of the remaining modules. Module 1: Module 2: Module 3: Module 4: Module 5: Module 6: Word Processing Databases Spreadsheets Desktop Publishing The Internet Text Entry DESCRIPTION OF MODULES WORD PROCESSING This is a core mandatory module. From this module students will learn how to create, edit and format a range of documents using appropriate word-processing techniques. DATABASES This module will develop the students database software skills. It will enable students to create, edit, query and sort a database. The module contains a unit on theory to help the students develop an understanding of computers in their everyday lives. This theory unit is common to all the modules in this course. SPREADSHEETS This module will develop the skills and knowledge required by the students to use spreadsheet software. Students will learn how to create and use spreadsheets and how to carry out calculations on spreadsheets using appropriate formulae and functions. They will also learn how to format spreadsheets, replicate formulae, and generate charts. 5
10 INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY DESKTOP PUBLISHING This module facilitates the production of documents using Desktop Publishing software. Students will learn the various techniques that are used to enter, format and enhance text. They will also learn how to use the relevant equipment and software needed to transfer graphics and photographs to documents. THE INTERNET This module will enable students to use the Internet as a research and communication tool. Students will learn to access named web sites, use search engines to research various topics and use to send and receive messages. TEXT ENTRY This module will develop the students keyboard skills so that they can input data into documents accurately. Students will learn how to operate the keyboard using the correct techniques with confidence. They will learn to produce attractively displayed documents and develop their proof-reading skills. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The Teacher Guidelines provide suggestions in relation to classroom practice. The guidelines are not prescriptive. There is scope for teachers to exercise their own professional judgement based on the interests, needs and abilities of the group. However, it is essential that the fundamental principles of the Leaving Certificate Applied be upheld. Teachers are therefore required to adopt a methodology that is student centred, activity based and affirming. 6
